I got watercooling for the quietness... I use low speed fans and I get very nice temps with them. I'll never regret watercooling my cpu/video cards after I used a TRUE with a pair of ultra kazes on it.

You also get more stable temps when watercooling. When aircooling you get alot if "ripple" in the load temps while watercooling holds those temps more as a straight line in your graphs.

A heat displacement. In the end no advantage? But it could help you. Keep doing if you like.

once you buy a water cooling kit, it is interchangeable with various hardware setups...the only thing you'd need to change is cpu or gpu blocks if you upgrade components in the future.

It also can be a lot quieter than a standard air cooling setup as well....its also all about performance, if you want quiet but good temps run the fans at low settings, if one day you want more horsepower...turn up the fans to max.

It's also cool to show off to other people, because most are baffled by water cooling a computer, lol.
